PULSE Art Fair 2012, running from May 3-6, 2012, at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York (125 West 18th Street, Chelsea) hosts sixty national and international galleries.  My focus is mostly on contemporary fine art photography, and saw I wide range of work, and some surprises.  I like that here, at some of the smaller fairs such as Pulse and NADA (New Dealers Association), there are other artists besides the “usual suspects”.

Some highlights and notable mentions are:
